“I want to create images that are mystical and beautiful with contemporary touches.” Inspired by wanderlust, Andrew Sutherland’s subtext is often that of the intrepid explorer, relishing the delights of the landscape in painted planes that combine graphic and illustrative elements with more traditionally painterly, expressive marks. His taste for adventure follows through with a long and explorative history of experimentation with different materials; watercolours, brush pens, acrylic paints, charcoal, ink, spray paint or collage on canvas, paper, wood or wall. Andrew’s training was in Fine Art at The Ruth Prowse School of Art, after which he worked as an assistant to a local abstract painter. He is currently based in Cape Town.
